You May Be Wondering...

At Norwich, we are proud of the students we accept and see the promise in each one of you. Our founder believed in the power of potential as much as past achievements. We don’t focus on where you’ve been; we care deeply about where you’re headed and want to inspire you to achieve your dreams.

The Norwich experience is like no other. We educate and develop leaders for the twenty-first century, combining our rich history with innovative learning experiences to prepare citizens and citizen-soldiers to serve our nation and the world.

Do you need to be a cadet or in the ROTC?

“At Norwich, there is a big emphasis on service. Volunteering builds character while helping the community and building relations and connections. Some of my favorite memories are from freshman year when my rook family would...spend time helping the community in different ways.” 
— Isabela, student
